NewsTranscript
00:00The first police colonel on camera is NAPLCOM Commissioner Edilberto Leonardo,
00:05who was the one who ordered the murder of PCSO Board Secretary Wesley Barayuga in 2020.
00:12The one who ordered the murder, according to the official, was the former PCSO General Manager, Regina Garma.
00:17Leonardo and Garma could have denied the allegation.
00:22Witness, Mackie Pulido.
00:24On July 20, 2020, retired PCSO General and PCSO Board Secretary Wesley Barayuga was killed in traffic in Mandaluyong.
00:36The CCTV footage shows the driver of a motorcycle and several shots fired at him.
00:43Earlier, Police Colonel Santi Fuentes Mendoza of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group was in front of the camera.
00:50NAPLCOM Commissioner Edilberto Leonardo was the one who ordered the murder.
00:56Leonardo said that the PNP was the one who ordered the murder.
00:59The former PCSO General Manager Regina Garma ordered the murder.
01:04Barayuga was involved in illegal drugs.
01:07After receiving the information, I told Sir Leonardo that because a government official is the target,
01:16it is important for me to do my own verification.
01:19But he said that I don't need it anymore because the order came from GM Garma,
01:29former Colonel Ruyena Garma,
01:32who has personal knowledge about the illegal activities of the drugs of Wesley Barayuga.
01:39In February 2020, he was the first to be arrested by Leonardo.
01:44On July 30, 2020, Leonardo called him again to say that Barayuga is the target in the office of the PCSO.
01:51He brought me a picture of Wesley Barayuga while he was in a conference meeting inside the PCSO.
01:58He was brought by Ma'am Garma.
02:00Ma'am Garma issued a service vehicle for Wesley Barayuga
02:07and gave me the description and plate number of the vehicle.
02:12I gave all this information to Nelson Mariano.
02:17Nelson Mariano was the former PCSO contacted by Mendoza
02:21who was looking for a hitman named Loloy.
02:24Leonardo also said that a TOCS will provide additional information about the target.
02:29According to Leonardo's police care, the TOCS is a child of Ma'am Garma from CIDG.
02:37After receiving a call from TOCS,
02:40I told him to coordinate with my middleman Nelson Mariano
02:45who will provide information to the designated hitman.
02:50When Barayuga was killed, Leonardo paid 300,000 pesos to Mariano.
02:5640,000 pesos was paid by Colonel Mendoza.
03:01Surigao Congressman Johnny Pimentel said that before killing Barayuga,
03:04the trust in the PCSO will be destroyed.
03:07The motive of the killing of General Barayuga
03:11was to stop General Barayuga from testifying against Colonel Garma.
03:21Garma and Leonardo denied the accusations.
03:24It's good that we don't have a conflict.
03:26Yes, we are talking.
03:28I was just surprised, Mr. Chairman.
03:30So this is the first time you heard that you are being implicated in the death of General Barayuga?
03:35Yes, Mr. Chairman.
03:36You were never also investigated by any law enforcement agency
03:41as far as the death of General Barayuga is concerned?
03:44No, Mr. Chairman.
03:46That's not true, Mr. Chairman.
03:47It's not true?
03:48So is there any reason?
03:50Is Colonel Mendoza angry with you?
03:52I know him.
03:54I think we only met once.
03:56Only once?
03:58I know that he's our underclassman.
04:01But aside from that, I don't know him anymore.
04:06So no working relations with Colonel Mendoza?
04:08None.
04:09You were not a human being before in your units?
04:11No.
04:12For Pimentel, the committee report should include the recommendation of the murder case of Garma.
04:17Colonel Eudina Garma has been involved in the different killings all over the country.
04:25In fact, Mr. Chair, when we first heard Colonel Garma,
04:30he was already involved in the killing of three Chinese drug lords.
04:35When Colonel Garma was assigned to Cebu City,
04:41there were 198 killings as recorded and as reported by Mayor Tommy Esmeña.
04:51And now, it is very clear that the mastermind of the killing of Colonel and General Barrio Yuga
04:59is none other than Colonel Garma in cooperation with Colonel Leonardo.
05:08All of that was denied by Garma.
05:10For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido is your witness.
05:16Two typhoons are being monitored inside and outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
05:21The Hulian Typhoon, which is inside the PAR,
05:23has already raised the signal number one in the Bavarian Islands
05:26and the eastern portion of the mainland of Cagaya.
05:29The last to pass is the center of the Hulian Typhoon,
05:31which is 435 kilometers away in the east of Calayan, Cagaya.
05:36According to the forecast, unlike the previous typhoons that passed through the PAR,
05:40the track of the Hulian Typhoon is almost looping.
05:45It is expected to last for a long time in the ocean and will intensify in the coming days.
05:49It is possible that the typhoon category will reach here.
05:51It is also possible that it will leave the PAR on Wednesday.
05:55As for the Tropical Storm Jemim, there is still a small chance of entering the PAR, according to the forecast.
06:01According to the data of Metro Weather, it is possible that it will rain in the Northern Luzon tomorrow.
06:05It is possible that it will be heavy rain that can cause floods or landslides.
06:11It is possible that it will be heavy rain that can cause floods or landslides.
06:16PBA player John Amores and his brother-in-law are being charged with shooting
06:21in their basketball court while they were on leave.
06:25They pleaded and filed a case for attempted homicide.
06:30We filed a case for attempted homicide.
06:37We filed a case for attempted homicide with a recommended bail for John Anthony for P24,000
06:43and a recommended bail for his brother-in-law for P10,000.
06:48This is the appreciation of the Fiscal Office.
06:52Despite that, there is still a strong demand for evidence from the CCTV
06:57and the witnesses themselves.
07:02Someone was also recovered in the crime scene with a different type of bullet.
07:06John Amores was found negative in the paraffin test, but according to the police...
07:12This does not prove that he did not shoot.
07:16There are different factors as to why he was not caught.
07:23There is no presence of John Paulder Nitrate in his hands.
07:29The arraignment and pre-trial of the case was held on December 4.
07:33Two hundred families in Josefina Street, Barangay 120, Caloocan City
07:39lost their homes because of a fire.
07:42According to BFP-Caloocan, the houses were covered in light materials.
07:48The fire was also identified and the value of the burnt items.
07:52No one was injured while the burnt items were being transferred to a covered court.
07:57For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
08:04There is no high price until Christmas.
08:06That is the target of the Trade Department even if there are buyers of price increase.
08:10The NBI and NMIS have maintained the facility that there is no right permit
08:16where the value of frozen and exotic food products is seen to be millions of pesos.
08:22Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
08:27The production of ice is registered and there is no permit to import food
08:32from this cold storage facility in Marilao, Bulacan.
08:35But when the NBI operatives entered,
08:42the frozen meat goods were seized.
08:46There is beef, kalapati, and peking duck.
08:49There are also frozen seafoods and exotic food such as palaka.
08:54The products were not properly inspected
08:56which is why they could be dangerous to the health of the people.
08:59It could be contagious.
09:02Particularly for poultry products, bird flu.
09:08It could infect people.
09:10Secondly, there is also beef.
09:14So, foot and mouth disease.
09:19The value of the products reached 200 million pesos.
09:23The NBI also noted that the beef was not paid properly.
09:28What our government is losing here is up to 120 million pesos in taxes.
09:35The beef was seen to trace some transactions online.
09:39We intercepted a communication.
09:41It was offered to the intended clientele on their secret channel.
09:45That's where the transactions happened.
09:49Even though the NBI did not arrest anyone,
09:51they already arrested two Filipinos and a Chinese national.
09:56They are facing an accusation of agricultural smuggling.
09:59Because the NBI issued a warrant before the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act,
10:05they will be punished if they lose the case.
10:09Under the new law, there will be a bigger punishment.
10:13There will be a reclusion perpetua and a fine of x10 or x5.
10:22The Department of Trade and Industry blamed the price of the products
10:26for the inspections of the families in Valenzuela City.
10:30The price of the main products entered the Suggested Retail Price or SRP
10:35in New Marolas Public Market and a supermarket.
10:38Other products are even cheaper than the SRP.
10:42Even though the manufacturers increased the price,
10:44there is still no price increase in Sardinas, Pinoy Pandesal, and Pinoy Tasty.
10:48Although the DTI is not sure how much it will increase.
10:52If we can extend it to Christmas, of course, it's better for us to have no price increase.
10:56That's also what the buyers want.
10:59Save, save. Don't shop first. Just do what you can.
11:03According to the DTI, now that the bare mats have entered,
11:06they will pay attention to the price and supply of the not-so-good items.
11:11But for now, there are no manufacturers increasing the price.
11:15But Abigail is already preparing the budget.
11:19I already listed our budget for Noche Buena.
11:23You just need to get the cash that my son will give. That's all.
11:29These are for sale in December,
11:31so maybe they will submit their proposed prices in October.
11:36It depends on our assessment of the new prices that they will submit,
11:40if it's affordable.
11:42Maybe Valenzuela City LGU wants to keep the borders closed
11:47so that the pigs that may have African Swine Fever cannot enter Metro Manila.
11:53The geographic location of Valenzuela,
11:55we pass through major trucks.
11:59If we don't watch our borders,
12:02it will spread quickly in Metro Manila.
12:06For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your news.
12:12In the second consecutive time,
12:14the Rotation and Resupply Mission was successful in Yuinchol yesterday.
12:19According to the AFP, the BRP Sierra Madre
12:23needs to supply Philippine Coast Guard.
12:27Truth Rotation was also carried out
12:29or the soldiers who were there were replaced.
12:32According to the AFP, even though 8 Chinese vessels were spotted in the area,
12:36they did not become a threat to the Rotation and Resupply Mission.
12:38But according to the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard,
12:41the Rotation and Resupply Mission was carried out under their supervision
12:45in accordance with the temporary arrangement between China and the Philippines.
12:50We are continuing to get permission from the National Maritime Council
12:54according to China, but it has not been approved yet.
12:56Before this, the last Resupply Mission was carried out on July 27.
13:02On the last Friday, before the election of the candidates for the election of 2025,
13:06the Senatorial Slate announced an additional.
13:10Witness, Von Aquino.
13:14In the recent resolution ratified by the Partido Democrático Filipino Lakas ng Bayan
13:18or PDP Laban in their National Assembly today,
13:23they will allow their members to run under other parties for the 2025 elections.
13:29Under their bylaws, any party member
13:33who uses the Certificate of Nomination of other parties
13:36is automatically removed from their party.
13:39PDP Laban President Manny Pacquiao will be remembered
13:43for his endorsement of President Bongbong Marcos
13:45under the Administration Senatorial Slate.
13:47This is our National Assembly.
13:49This is required.
13:51And then, especially during the election time,
13:54we need to make adjustments
13:56because most likely,
13:59our Certificate of Nomination
14:02will not be honored by the Comelec
14:06because the Comelec is a member of a faction.
14:09So, we will make adjustments here in our Assembly.
14:14Remember, during the last election,
14:16the Commission on Elections declared
14:18the faction led by former President Rodrigo Duterte
14:21as a legitimate PDP Laban.
14:23The appeal of Campo ni Pimentel was also heard in the Supreme Court
14:27and the decision of the Comelec was also reversed.
14:29The Partido will discuss
14:31if they will endorse candidates for the 2025 elections.
14:35The Partido Lakas ng Masa announced
14:38their senatorial candidates
14:40for the 2025 elections.
14:43Labor leaders,
14:44Sen. Didi Guzman and Atty. Renacio Luc Espiritu,
14:47will support labor rights,
14:49climate justice,
14:51and economic reforms
14:52while directly challenging
14:54the power of political dynasties,
14:56elitist and oligarchs.
